So you do helmets, right? What GPS would you reccomend? I like the ones that are city-specific. The global ones don't go into enough detail.

[protective_logic]

The Lethbridge G-72 GPS system is the absolute best balance of price and function, with damn good additional coverage inside the skyscrapers because it accesses the specific building directories of different offices and help you find your way to them in the maze of the modern world. It even takes traffic into consideration for walking directions!

[shipitsupersonic]

There are maps for inside buildings? That is either a great or terrible idea.

[protective_logic]

No, there aren't. But the helmet temporarily interfaces with the building's directory to just tell you where the entrance to a specific office is, if it is listed.

[shipitsupersonic]

That is pretty cool. So people wouldn't be able to use it to sneak in the back door. Are those very popular?

[protective_logic]

Not as popular as you'd think they would be, honestly. People think they are good enough with one that covers the streets alone. of course the average person already knows all the places they want to go. From my understanding the thing is more popular with those individuals who actually have to go to said offices more often without necessarily knowing the one they want, as well as those individuals who have a poor sense of direction.

[shipitsupersonic]

That sounds like that might come in handy if someone was new in town, too. Are they reliable? Frequently updated?

[protective_logic]

They are very reliable, and update biannually automatically, unless you're looking for a forced update more frequently than that.

[shipitsupersonic]

I wonder if they're integrated with that website that rates places. It would be nice to tell it you want Thai food and get directions to a good place.

[protective_logic]

They aren't. The mod companies don't work together, in fact the website you speak of has it's own, subpar GPS mod. But a good helmet tech or mod-maker can write unifying code.

[shipitsupersonic]

That's a shame. At least it can be done. Do you know how to do it?

[protective_logic]

Of course. I may be learning, but I'm good at what I do.

[shipitsupersonic]

I'm sure you are. Do you like your job?

[protective_logic]

I'd say clearly, but you've never been on the receiving end of my rambling about it.

[shipitsupersonic]

Oh, it can't be that bad.

[protective_logic]

I don't think it's bad. It's everyone else who goes glazed in the eyes when i start talking about the pros and cons of a visored helmet versus unvisored."

[shipitsupersonic]

I always preferred them unvisored myself. But I'm used to an entirely different display. One day I'll be able to buy a helmet like my old one.

[protective_logic]

Myself as well. They are more durable, can take in more data, the screens can handle far more interesting HUDs. I can't understand this idea of visors!

[shipitsupersonic]

I don't get it either. What sort of helmet do you have? Visorless, I assume.

[protective_logic]

Charon Standard Mark V. I'm working on a new one, though.

[shipitsupersonic]

What's the new one? Or is it totally custom?

[protective_logic]

I'm building from a shell.

[shipitsupersonic]

Very nice? Are you putting anything exciting in it?

[protective_logic]

Massive amounts of tech mods. To help with my work. And to amuse myself.
